MacUpdate today announced its 2008 Holiday Bundle. The latest bundle delivers up to 10 Mac applications for $49.99 (a $447.96 value if all purchased separately), and is available through December 18th. It should be noted that buyers receive all 10 bundled applications immediately. Nothing is locked this time around. Here are the applications included in the bundle:

I bought it this morning. Great deal! I owned an older version of Prosoft Drive Genius and had been thinking of upgrading it, anyway. The upgrade would have been $50 alone. I also own Default Folder and really like it. It's on my iMac in the office, and I had been thinking about getting another copy for my mini at home. Now I have it for free, in effect.

I don't know much about the other software in the bundle, but I'm sure there are a few gems among them. I'm wondering in particular about Intego VirusBarrier. Do any of you use it? Does it slow down your mac?

A nice bundle indeed. Count me in the crowd picking this up for Drive Genius. I think my wife will enjoy having MacGourmet as well. MacPilot, Little Snitch and Default Folder X are also nice applications. That said, I already own Little Snitch.

Well, I went ahead and picked this up too. I was really needing Little Snitch anyway, and the rest of the apps looked worth the few extra bucks. Not that I'm paranoid or anything, but I like having a way to scan for viruses. Gives me a little piece of mind while partaking in "morally questionable activities" on the internet.

When i was checking out, I saw that you can get 4 for the price of 3 on this deal. If I had seen that earlier, I probably would have tried organizing a few other folks on this forum to go in on it for a discount. Too late for me, but others may want to think about it. Hey, $12.50 is $12.50!
